Encinal Junior & Senior High School

Hello Jet Families!  We’ve hit the mid-way point of September and the mid-way point of the First Quarter.  Last Friday marked the last day of the first progress report period.  Grades should be posted in AERIES no later than Friday of this week.  As a reminder, progress reports and reports cards are no longer mailed home.  All grades and grade reports can be viewed via the parent and student portals in AERIES.

Speaking of grades, we have lots of resources available for students who are concerned about their grades.  The Student Center is open every morning at 7:00am for students who want a quiet place to study or to complete assignments.

We also have student tutors available in the Student Center after school until 5:30, Mondays through Thursdays.  Tutors can be requested through the Student Center for students needing or wanting a little extra support during JETS as well.  Finally, the math department sponsors Math Bootcamps for Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 after school.  Dates and sign-ups should be available in the next couple of weeks.

Island Bowl Champions:  The Jets are Island Bowl Champions!!  For the 10th time in the last 12 years, the Jets won the Island Bowl with a sound 42-0 defeat of our cross town rivals.  The JV team was also victorious over our rivals.  Great Job Jets!!
